hosts dependancies not working [Virus scanned]

[Ralf Gross]

Hi,

first of all, I found my mistake.

I confused dependent_host_name with host_name! Changing the entries for
both options did the trick. Stupid me!

Well, I think hostdependencies are more flexible, but I might be wrong. I
have to confess that I dicovered the parent option after trying
dependencies. Is the parent options a solution for hosts that depend on a
lot of routers/firewalls?
Something like that?

monitoring client -> rt1 -> fw1 -> rt -> fw2 -> rt2 -> client
